The stock drills are the only way to harvest asteroids, but I think? that they will fill any sort of ore storage you have on-board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just provide the materials and the ship pops into existence near the shipyard. Building things on the ground is gone for now. Kind of a shame you cant build stuff on the ground anymore. But thanks for the answer! What are the orbital shipyard parts called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also no button for changing their type (to switch back to Ore in case that was the problem) despite having the MaterialKits and SpecializedParts on-board to do so. Is this a mod conflict, a bug, or just normal behavior and I'm missing something? No amount of retracting/deploying or reloading saves fixes it. The vehicle has no Engineers on board, but I inferred from the description that that isn't needed for the `-A` variants. I feel like the problem is likely the fact that you're trying to drill an asteroid. Unless MKS adds Resources to asteroids as well as planets.

In the "Konstruction" grouping in the VAB or SPH (crossed hammer and wrench icon) you'll find the "KS-250-O KonStructor - Orbital Shipyard" and the "KS-500-O KonStructor - Orbital Shipyard". The KS-250-O is a 2.5m part, the KS-500-O is a 5m part. At present the description suggests that the KS-250-O has restrictions on the size of craft you can construct but I've yet to build something that the KS-250-O can't handle -- though the biggest things I've built to date are ~600t with ~200 parts.

I changed it to ore, but the drills still refused to do anything. Perhaps the description should be updated to mention that they simply don't work for asteroids under any circumstances, even if the asteroid contains the resource you are mining for.

wasmic Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Is it on purpose that the Bleeding Edge download contains the entire Firespitter mod, rather than just the Firespitter.dll file?

Kaspar Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Just added MKS to a fresh instal, Just MKS from Github and Squad in GameData. KSP v1.12.3. But while the parts show up, they do not have any manufacturing capability, say the Tundra Assembly Plant. The infatable parts do not work either. What am I missing here? Never mind, I guess it jsut doesnt work work with the latest KSP. Unless an update for the mod is comming soon, I will have to revert to KSP 1.11 Edited February 22, 2022 by Kaspar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modus Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Works perfectly fine on 1.12.3, you're probably missing a dependency or something else. If you only have squad and mks in Gamedata, yeah you're missing stuff. Edited February 22, 2022 by modus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoAHead Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 i have a small questionL: how is the wolf transportcapacity calculated? is it the total weight of the vehicle? is it empty Fuel Tank space? what do i have to exactly increase to get higher capacity? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyFall2489 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Would it be possible to branch of WOLF into a stand-alone, slapping :NEEDS[MKS] on a bunch of things so it can be used with just the stock resource chains? (Basic ISRU, fuel cells, no machinery or crew points or life support, maybe the resource chains of a few mods like EL or USI-LS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make anything in one rocket if you're industrious enough. But as far as MKS goes - it's designed for multiple launches and gradually building up capabilities.

There's a KSP bug that miscalculates resources on return to KSP. This addition to MKS addresses it without actually solving the problem, if I'm not mistaken.

Kerbalkraut Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hi guys. I've spent hours reading the past 70 pages of the forum or so researching MKS, reading guides, wiki pages, and watching youtube. I have now been attempting a career game using this mod. Sorry in advanced, if there are answers buried in here somewhere, or the wiki. The information absorbing has been overwhelming. Also having to determine whats up to date, and what is not. I have most of the MKS resources unlocked, besides the refineries and the WOLF infrastructure. Which is still 9,000 science out. Due to this I'd like to start using drills/MPUs etc to get started towards resource gathering, before I get my WOLF system online. I have two questions. 1: Is planetary logistics still used in MKS? Since WOLF essentially replaces it, along with not being able to see the planetary logistics referenced on any of the TUNDRA/DUNA components (only orbital). I'm not sure the best course of action for how to load out my mining operation, to establish a concentration point for all my resources to head to for the centralized base I want, once I turn WOLF on. 2: What is the intended mechanic for building infrastructure and physical items on surfaces? It looks like that used to be the function of workshops. I know you can build items that go into inventory but that seems pretty size limited and not intended for new buildings/rovers etc. I see there's an orbital shipyard but that doesn't seem intended for base additions. Huge shout out to Roverdude and Dr Krugg for an absolutely game changing amount of detail and work added to this game. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthebobo Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 @Kerbalkraut 1. Planetary logistics is still a thing. It allows you to still use drills and other harvesters to collect resources, and share them with other bases on a planetary body that has a logistics module. This is totally independent of WOLF. It uses the stock resource model, so you have to be in range of a base for the resources to be collected. Once collected, however, they can be used elsewhere when you change focus to another consumer of those resources. WOLF (which I'm convinced stands for "Wow, Off-line Logistics, Finally! ) runs independent of in-game focus. One you have a WOLF harvester going, you have that amount available from a WOLF bin. 2. The final on-planet large item builder is Coming SoonTM. As you point out, the workshop lets you build small things, but at the moment its not possible to attach enough storage to let you build items like the orbital workshops do. Have fun!

Kerbalkraut Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 @notthebobo Thank you for your response. I wonder if the orbital shipyard can be used planet side as a temporary work around. For the planetary logistics, your harvesters need a logistics module attached, to push the resources into the warehouses, that are connected to the logistics, right?

Great question about the orbital shipyard planetside, I haven't tried that. I believe logistics module is only required for pull, and it needs a Kerbal at the helm (pilot?).

The unmanned material processors have logistics to support pushing from unmanned processing facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
